Ted Yoho Takes Aim at Harry Reid

U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., weighed in on last weeks election results and insisted things will be better in Washington, D.C., with Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Democrats not in charge of the Senate for the next two years.

Yoho penned an op-ed over at The Hillon Wednesday, insisting voters were tired of President Barack Obamas one-sided policies and all of the dysfunction in our nations capital.

Coming to the end of my first term in office, I can tell you that, from my perspective, the American people have graded the 113th Congress and our grade is not impressive, Yoho wrote. I understand their frustration. However, if we take a closer look at the main cause of this dysfunction, we will find it leads to the desk of one particular senator: Harry Reid.

But even with Republicans controlling both chambers, Yoho said the GOP has to prove itself to American voters.

With Tuesday's results, the American people have granted complete control of Congress to the GOP, Yoho wrote. We have been given very short reins for two years to lead one third of government. The people have allowed us to govern but only if we can earn their trust. We can show that we are worthy of that trust again by doing what is right for America and creating results, not excuses. It's time for us to lead and regain the trust of the American people. I look forward to the task at hand.
